Introducing kUfI

Yesterday, we officially launched KucingFisika (kUfI), August 8, 2008 (08/08/08 08:08:08), physics and scientific computing community for Indonesia. It was inspired by Schrodinger Cat paradox. kUfI will bring fun for physics students by showing simple physics experiments and also aim to focus on scientific computing. See kUfI announcement from Detikinet here.

Please visit kUfI and join me to congratulate the team who has developed kUfI from a small LAB at University of Indonesia. This ambitious team will create 1000 videos and screencasts for physics and scientific computing educations in the next one year. Special thanks to Sagi Arsyad, Ridi Ferdiana and Nicolas Saydena, all my brilliant students who involved in this project. We made a history on 08/08/08 08:08:08

New OS will be an entirely new design, built from the ground up. Microsoft has announced it, code named, Midori that will be released sometime post-2010. Midori OS is based on Singularity and designed for Cloud computing -- or the movement to shift hardware and software, particularly storage, out of home PCs and into computing clusters. Cloud computing is gaining significant momentum and attention huh!. Read more here:

If you are interesting in OS stuff, you can download Singularity from CodePlex and play with its codes and compiler (Bartok).

Enjoy!
